Pupils from Hillside School stole the limelight this morning with their singing of the school song at the dedication service for the new Portlethen Funeralcare office at the shopping unit on Hillside Road.
Also attending were local ministers, residents, staff, Police Scotland, councillors, the community ambulance, and so on.
Unfortunately the fire alarm also went off (though not during the singing): a false alarm. A car had broken down outside as well, so it was memorable for many reasons!
